Feature request granted!  (if you mean for ELF)

Actually, as noted in the CVS checkin message, i'd managed to if(0) out
the code that handled this for some reason back in the initial commit of
elf support.  Give it a whirl, and see if it does the trick; my quick
tests show that the elf object file is as it should be, but i lack
anything better to test with.
